Song Recommendation: “Reverse Upward Spiral” by Leafblower (2025)

Dirty, fuzzy, heavy garage rock that kind of sounds like it was recorded in a dank flooded basement, you can’t help but notice the reference to the Nine Inch Nails mid-90’s goth-pop industrial masterpiece, but they only really invoke Trent’s iconic sounds obliquely, borrowing the intensity but shedding everything else, especially as an organ rises from the murk halfway through to really send this song into more proggy spheres. Overwhelming in just the right way.
